Your sponsor does not need to contact ircc , the invitation letter you have is good enough

Thank you! And what are your thoughts on how the organizers of the retreat should position themselves to increase chances of being approved. It's not a generic conference so they may not have the conference registered with IRCC. and sponsors are also the organizers of the events.

OK thank you!

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I am curious about the other questions I asked in regards to submission of the documents submission
Thanks in advance

There’s a current challenge situation with applicants from Nigeria, as many granted visas for visits or conferences end up overstaying or making asylum claims. This has caused Nigeria to be labelled as the third-largest source of Canada visa overstays, making visa approval rates stricter and refusal rate very high .. While you’ve travelled extensively, clarifying where you’ve travelled can help strengthen your application.

For your visa application their are many video on youtube to guide you step by step on how to apply business/visit visa , complete the process on the IRCC website, providing documents like your passport, proof of employment, travel itinerary, invitation letter for the retreat, and financial proof. Your sponsors should provide an invitation letter, sponsorship confirmation, and proof of their legitimacy. Regarding your previous visa denial, be transparent about it, explain the circumstances, and highlight your positive travel history since then. Emphasize strong ties to Nigeria, like landed properties and remote work, to show you’ll return after the retreat.

However, to be honest, with over 13,000 Nigerians who arrived in Canada last year (2024) within eight months to claim asylum, we are likely to see a massive refusal rate for a long time. It’s quite sad!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful response. 13k is quite a number. I'll still like to throw in my application. who knows if luck will be on my side. Thanks once again

Hello Guyz!

I'm applying for a retreat in Canada, sponsored by a US-based organization I work with. Currently, I work for them on a gig basis without formal documentation, receiving monthly payments for jobs done. They're willing to assist with any necessary letters or documentation to support my application.

I have a previous history of being denied a student visa in 2016. However, since then, I've traveled extensively as a tourist, consistently departing 3-5 days after entering any country (last trip was in 2018). This upcoming retreat is a 6-day event with approximately 15 participants from the USA and various parts of Canada.

I'm seeking clear guidance on:

The specific steps for my visa application

Documentation my sponsors should prepare

How to address my previous visa denial (if needed)

My primary goal is to understand the most effective approach to ensure a smooth application process for this retreat.

I have ties to Nigeria such as landed properties, I work remotely for the same org. Funds are roughly 800k-1.3 per month, not married.

Links for application are also welcomed
